IFPA is an international scienti c organization coordinating the activities of the existing regional placental research associations. Its purposes comprise the following: • to support the regional placental associations; • to facilitate multidisciplinary study and discussion of all aspects of placental research; • to coordinate dates, locations, and subjects for regional and international placenta meetings to be organized by the regional placental associations; • to provide a formal association that could communicate with governments, bodies, grant institutions, and private organizations; • to provide a scienti c organization to which Placenta and Trophoblast Research can be associated and be both editorially as well as scienti cally answerable.
